The Big Picture Tom Hanks’ latest crowd-pleaser, A Man Called Otto, takes the viewer on a brutally funny, yet completely sensitive journey into the life of “the grumpiest man in America.” The film is a return to form for Hanks in many ways; while he’s matured into one of the finest dramatic actors of all time, it’s easy to forget that he was once the hilarious comic icon behind classics like Big, Splash, Sleepless in Seattle, and Joe Versus the Volcano.
Director Marc Forster does a great job at grounding his English-language remake in the anxieties of American life today and pays close attention to how immigration, economic inequity, grief, and deceptive real estate practices make it harder to bridge interpersonal relationships within communities. Forster succeeds in nailing the original source material’s emotional resonance with his masterfully crafted conclusion, which is likely to inspire quite a few tears from engaged audiences.
